Chinese Reds Fight In Korea, MacArthur Warns UN
Gen Douglas MacArthur told the United Nations security council that Chinese communist forces are fighting U N troops in Korea. He detailed units identified by intelligence and said 2 500 troops crossed border October 14 with a 5 000 strong task force joining on October 20. By November 4 elements of at least four divisions were in Korea and 35 Chinese soldiers had been captured. Six to nine jet fighters appeared over Korea on November 1 and retreated to Manchuria after being attacked by U S fighters. The warning followed a U N decision to label Peiping as the aggressor and call for a full scale effort to drive troops out of Korea.
